Preparing a Cover Letter

Cover letters are an essential part of a job application, providing you with the opportunity to demonstrate to a prospective employer your suitability for a position.

A cover letter formally introduces yourself and your resume, states the reasons for your application, and highlights how your skills, experience and knowledge make you a suitable applicant for the role. It is an ideal opportunity to make a good first impression on a prospective employer by demonstrating that you have researched the organisation and matched your experience carefully to the position.
